The Digital Economy's Precarious Foundation

The global digital economy balancing on the tiny shoulders of volunteer coders is both hilarious and terrifying. Trillion-dollar companies run on packages maintained by someone coding at 2AM while drinking Red Bull in their pajamas. Next time your bank's app works, thank the unpaid dev who fixed that critical dependency while their spouse wondered why they're debugging instead of sleeping. The modern tech equivalent of "it's just turtles all the way down" except it's sleep-deprived devs all the way down.
